lyrics

Petty games never felt so wrong or so right
Burning letters just to keep you off of my mind for a minute
To forget you’re everywhere

Situations might’ve had us being friends
Falling victim to your deadliest sins
I see the mask that you wear

Take me by the bones and shake me
Your words won’t break me

Backstage star, a moth drawn to light
Words that feed you only come out at night
They’ll deceive you
Then they’ll leave you with the sunrise

Swallow your words
bitterness lines your tongue
Shoot me down there’s more where I came from
You’re mistaken
There’s no battle to be won

Take me by the bones and shake me
Your words won’t break me

Time will tell the truth
I gain nothing, when you lose
(2x)

Take me by the bones and shake me
Your words won’t break me
(2x)

Sprained Ankle
by Julien Baker

supported by 5 fans who also own “Petty Games”

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
